Note: I received compensation from The Motherhood and Lactaid to be a part of this campaign. All opinions are my own.
Back in May I talked about how I took part in a webinar with Melissa d’ Arabian, to learn more about LACTAID® Products. I let you know that both my son and Father-in-law have lactose intolerance issues. I was asked to come up with a recipe that they could enjoy using Lactaid milk. Last night I decided to give rice pudding a try. I’d never made pudding from scratch before so it was an experience. It’s definitely not something you could do while multi-tasking, because there is constant stirring needed and even when not stirring, you want to watch it so that it doesn’t burn.
Before I get to the recipe, though, I wanted to let you know that Melissa d’Arabian made an appearance on the TODAY Show to talk about Lactaid and share a recipe. You can visit the Today show website if you’d like to see her recipe for Chicken with lactose-free creamy mushroom sauce. You can also visit the Lactaid website to get some good lactose free recipes. There were a few I wanted to try but didn’t have the time or ingredients on hand to make them.

I’ve never made rice pudding, but maybe i should try it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE rice pudding. LOVE. I haven’t had it for so long.
It has been a long time since I’ve even had Rice pudding and this looks great.
